Anne’s story in her own words:“I won $5,000 from Twin Star Credit Union in a ‘Save to Win’ contest that included 6 credit unions in the Puget Sound Area. I opened a savings account in April 2013 and for a $25 deposit your name was entered into monthly drawings. There were 10 drawings for $50 every month until March 2014, when there were three drawings for $5,000.

When I opened the account I said that I was going to win $5,000, since I am always a winner. I told them that every time I made a deposit, I said that I was going to win the $5,000.

We did a celebration at Twin Star on Tuesday, April 22, 2014. They took a lot of pictures and a reporter from sister newspapers The Olympian/Tacoma News Tribune was there. I told them that I was a student at RSE and that I had learned to create my reality. I do not know what they will print, but said my quote will appear in their newspapers.

Also, another manifestation, I won another Jackpot at Lucky Eagle casino on April 17, 2014 for $3,305.00. This was a very good month!”

From C.R. Roberts in the Tacoma News Tribune:
“A self-employed environmental engineer, she said she would spend the money on ‘something fun.’

A member of the Ramtha School of Enlightenment in Yelm, she gives some credit for her victory to a ‘creative reality.'”Read more from the Tacoma News Tribune.
